Behavior 2011: Science outreach at Wonderlab

If you participated in or attended the Animal Behavior Society's science outreach activities at Bloomington's Wonderlab on 30 July, click here to browse through a collection of photos from the event. These comprise the 100 or so best photos of the 450 I took. If you are interested in obtaining higher-resolution copies or alternate shots, let me know and I will be happy to oblige. Check back here over the next couple days for more complete coverage of the event, including some videos!

Who is the "Anthrophysist"?

I am a biologist who studies the ways in which anthropogenic disturbance impacts animals (especially birds). I hope that the results of my work, and the work of other researchers like me, can help humans learn how to coexist more peacefully with wildlife. I am also interested in the role that nature has played in shaping human cultures around the world and over the centuries. Although this blog will predominantly focus on scientific research, I hope to occasionally profile some anthropological work as well, in order to better highlight the interconnectedness of humans ("anthro") and nature ("physis").
